PARIS. June 2-In the Chamber of Deputies,
this afternoon, NJ. Freppel moved that the de-
bate the army bill be postponed until the

A story is in circulation here to the effect that

NJ. Clemenceau conspicuously and pointedly
snubbed General FerroD. Minister of War, after
accusing him of double dealing In denouncing
Ferron, Clemenceau told him he wanted moth
ing to do with man who had
formerly stigmatzed the promoters of the Ton
Quin scheme criminals, and now entered the
service of those same schemers. General Fer

government would accomplish the evacuation of
Tonquin. The moderate press call upon Gen.
Ferron to deny the story.

UNEASINESS IN CRETE.

The Threatened Revolt of the Christian In
habitants of the Island.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
ATHENS, June 2.-The revolutionary aspect of
affairs in the island of Crete shows no abate-
ment, but rather increases. The Christian in
habitants are very much in earnest in their de-
mands for certain reforms, among which is the
demand that the revenues passing through the
custom houses shall be subject to the
disposition of the native authorities and
not OF the representatives of the
Sultan AS yet, nothing has been
received from the government at Constantinople
in reply to the demands made upon the Porte
some weeks ago, and in the meantime the feel
ing of discomfort is spreading, apparently un-
noticed by the local Turkish authorities who
give no heed to the now openly made threats
that the refusal of the Sultan to comply with the
demand of the Cretans will result in the per-
manent flying of an independent flag over the
island

LONDON, June 2-Prince Dhuleep Singh, of In
dia. who is protege of M. Katkoff the editor of
the Moscow Gazette. and the fidus Achates of
the Gar, has circulated in secret an appeal to
the Indian princes to join in a against the
British government. Evidences of the Princes
duplcity has been furnished the Indian gov
ernment in the shape Of one of the identical cir
cular letters sent out by him, and he will be
called upon to satisfactorily explain his
action suffer Imprisonment. The
circular calls upon the native princes to
arm and equip their followers to the best of
their ability and await the summons which will
mark the beginning of their deiverance from
the thrall of Great Britain. AS Prince Dhuleep
Singh is still drawing his allowance of f40. 900
year from the British government, his taste in
sending out the circular is regarded as ques-
tionable, at least and his motive for doing so
may be ascribed to the fact that a recent appli-
cation, made by him through the Indian govern
ment for increase of his annual allowance,
was denied.
